Comline discusses its range of calipers as well as giving you the opportunity to win one of its Tec-Line T-shirts!

When it comes to braking, Comline is confident its brand is well established and widely accepted across the UK market, with its range of brake pads and discs a staple of both your and your customers businesses. In recent years, though, it is Comline’s calipers that have captured the imagination of the market. Read on to find out more as well as enter the competition to win one of six T-shirts!

Since launching into the Irish market in 2020, Comline calipers have proven a real success story. The brand claimed it is now among the market leaders in this product category, offering a range of over 1,000 references and delivering thousands of units per month to customers across the UK.

Comline Business Line General Manager, Nick Weir, said: “From a standing start three years ago, Comline calipers have become one of our bestselling product ranges. The response from the market was exciting and immediate; our caliper sales grew quickly in the first year, and this momentum has continued to build. Fast forward to the close of 2022, and our caliper volumes had grown a further 350%!”

This impressive entrance into the market and the ongoing success of Comline calipers is down to a combination of factors that starts with the product itself. Comline only supplies all-new caliper units which, it reported, ensure consistent, reliable performance and remove the additional hassle that is often associated with remanufactured caliper options.

Nick continued: “One of the major downsides for customers in dealing with remanufactured calipers is the need to return the product and process surcharge claims. This can be a time-consuming and often painful process that customers can really do without – Comline calipers have been widely embraced as a solution to this problem.”

Within the aforementioned 1,000 product references, all popular makes and models are catered for. Whether a European, Japanese or Korean vehicle, if it’s popular in the UK, Comline stated it has a caliper reference to cover it.

The range also incorporates sliding, fixed, and rear calipers, with rear options including both manual handbrake and more contemporary electronic parking brake (EPB) options. The latter is growing increasingly prevalent in newer vehicle designs, according to Comline, and the brand’s most popular caliper reference, CBC309L/R, is an EPB option fitting an extensive range of VAG Group vehicles.

Nick added: “Add to this a simple, concise part numbering system, a confidence-inspiring two-year (40,000km) warranty, and the competitive edge for which Comline is synonymous, and it is easy to see why the brand’s range of calipers has truly hit the mark across the UK.”

Experts in braking

Whilst Comline calipers are stealing the headlines, the brand is also quick to point out the ongoing strength of its wider braking range: pads and discs are an integral part of Comline’s DNA.

When it comes to brake pads, it’s not just the brand’s distinctive blue and yellow livery that stands it out: Comline pads are tested to ensure compliance with ECE R90 regulations, but the brand goes further with a range of more extensive quality and performance checks. Comline is confident that going the extra mile, by insisting on the likes of a 300°C hot shear test, underpins its performance standard and delivers performance to motor factors, installers, and motorists alike.

Comline brake discs are also stringently tested to deliver outstanding stopping power, and there are some additional benefits to consider: the majority of discs on offer from Comline are so-called ‘coated’ options, which feature a specialised anti-corrosion coating that is applied to all areas of the disc.

This feature not only ensures long-lasting, premium aesthetics in-behind the alloy wheel, but also means the technicians can take the disc from box-to-axle without the need for cleaning or degreasing. This timesaving feature is detailed in Comline’s new video, which can be viewed here.
